CoinMarketCap, one of the most preferred sources for crypto market capitulation has recently released the graph of countries that have registered a surge in crypto usage. The report named nine countries including Nigeria, Australia, Spain, Canada, Mexico, U.K., Colombia, India, and Pakistan which marked huge growth in Cryptocurrency Interest. However, it is pivotal to understand the type of crypto regulations, frameworks ad polices these countries are entertaining.
Nigeria - With Nigeria being one of the biggest countries in the world population-wise, it also boasts of being one of the leading countries in Africa in terms of GDP boasting of about $500 billion nominal GDP returns. Taking a look at the crypto regulation in Nigeria, Bitcoin and all other forms of crypto are all legal although the Security Exchange Commission in the country has warned the population of the high risk involved. With the previous move by the government of Nigeria to ban crypto trading, the regulations are still unclear with the government issuing strong warnings of the volatility in the market.
Spain - Spain mirrors Nigeria in the way that digital assets are approached in the country with the European nation not having a single regulation when it comes to crypto adoption. The Spanish government joined forces with the Spanish Security and Exchange Commission to teach investors on the dangers of trading in crypto assets. Even with the absence of regulations, the government has said that it does not see crypto as a means of tender, they may be referred to as securities.
Australia - As far back as 2017, when Bitcoin was trying to make its mark in the financial market, Australia was one of the few countries that moved swiftly to encourage the budding investment. The government declared the digital assets a legal investment in the country and as such is treated as property while being subject to Capital Gains Tax. Previously, Australia subjected crypto assets to a double taxation scheme with the assets classed under the Goods and Services Tax but the recent change has encouraged a widespread adoption.
Canada - Canada has swiftly moved to ask all businesses and investments to register their respective firms under the FinTRAC as their activities would be monitored by the body to check fraud and money laundering. The new crypto law according to FinTRAC is that all transactions that are more than $7,000 should be duly noted. The sending and receiving party should be identified and failure to do so would attract severe charges. The new law has given investors a huge relief in terms of eliminating fears of fraud.
Mexico - Mexico enacted a new law to guide crypto in March 2018 but was met with resistance across the country. The new law states that cryptocurrencies were illegal but could be used as a means of payment across the country. The new law states specifically that Banxico, the country's central bank should monitor all crypto activities and would report all unauthorized transactions whilst handing out fines to businesses that fail to adhere to the instructions. The major boost is that crypto businesses have not been levied with a clear tax system as regards digital assets.
United kingdom - Ever since the wide adoption of crypto around the world, the United kingdom has always measured the activities of crypto exchanges across the country. Even though the government has refused to see digital assets as a means of legal tender, they have moved swiftly to enforce a registration with the FCA amongst the exchanges in the country. With no ground laws in place to monitor the activities of the exchange, the country has levied the capital gains tax on individuals and investments dealing in cryptocurrencies.
Colombia - Colombia has one of the worst rules and regulations when it comes to crypto adoption. Presently, the country lacks a legal framework when it comes to regulating crypto. With the country witnessing a 61% growth in terms of FinTech companies despite the seemingly unregulated activities of crypto exchanges in the country. With the Colombian law failing to recognize cryptocurrency trading as a legal investment, most of the exchanges in the country are always subject to losing their services for handling of illegal transactions.
India - India recently passed a bill into law that said that banks can now work with crypto exchanges in the country. This development comes after the legality of crypto exchanges and the laws that govern them were called into questions after the Supreme Court permitted them to carry out their activities in the country. Presently, the trading of crypto in the Asian country is legal and has seen so many adoptions even before the court ruled in its favor. With a legal framework scheduled to be drafted in the coming weeks, only time will tell if it would favor more adoption.
Pakistan - Pakistan issued a blanket ban on crypto investments across the country in 2019 but has soon suspended the ban and asked all crypto exchanges and service providers to register their business with the state bank of Pakistan. The country executives are presently going into a meeting to discuss how the legal frameworks for the adoption of crypto would be in the country. Despite the ban that was effective since last year, the majority of the Pakistan population has owned cryptos in other countries but can now comfortably trade in their own country.

This entire downward trajectory and war on crypto started with Bill Gates, February 28th saying "cryptocurrency kills in a fairly directly way" in a reddit AMA. Previously Bill has been very positive on bitcoin. Microsoft has accepted it for years. It wasn't priced in psychologically as it lingered until March 7th. The day in which there was fake news about a Binance hack which never existed.
CHECK THE PRICES
https://imgur.com/a/1EvzfeR March we had Google banning ads MARCH 14TH. Then you had Facebook ban ads one week. YouTube the next, Twitter the next. Taking their time to suppress further and further.
CHECK THE PRICES

Then in May we had Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, and Charles Munger interviewed on CNBC. Attacking relentlessly. It was one of the 1st questions in the interview with 3 very important people in finance as they asked them collectively. If you don't think this was planned, please reevaluate. Interviews with people of this magnitude have pre-written questions that are approved ahead of time. The Federal Reserve openly attacking it publicly in May. Authorities looking into "price manipulation". When the only price manipulation was the actual news about price manipulation.

May charts - The interview was May 7th.
https://imgur.com/a/WxIHfnX
After that it was probe "cracking down" on crypto. When they have had tools to track crypto for chain analysis for years. There's been a major piece of FUD news at least once a month for the past 7 months. Look at the charts for correlation. If you see a big dip, you will see there was FUD that day.
South Korea ban MARCH 6TH, South Korea unban, South Korea exchange raids MARCH 11TH. China reiterating their ban. India ban JULY 3RD, India unban, India ban. SEC same cycle (has been + lately). CFTC same cycle. Russia same cycle.

How many times are we going to be this stupid? Will this ever end? Go ahead and down vote me into nothing you astro turfing, hired bots. See the bigger picture. All tactical analysis stems from news. News has been controlling the price down to get retail to sell as illustrated. As you can see, centralized institutions have seized power in this space, not surprisingly. Convince me otherwise. Thank you for reading.

I see way too much freaking out on here about GRLC price. Let's talk facts:

1. The ATH (all time high) on GRLC was caused by a PND (pump and dump). Graph confirms and the tradesatoshi chat was full of PND tards at the time of the highs (I was there and made some good money that night that I just used to get more GRLC). Before the PND, we were below $2... we just happened to maintain above $2 after the PND likely due to the new interest that caused (it was most profitable coin on CoinMarketCap). We are just returning to the lows before then (and dipping a little lower admittedly).
2. All crypto is based on BTC (Bitcoin) ultimately. Whether you like it or not BTC drives everyones value. BTC is super down right now due to multiple FUD stories (USD-T, India, Facebook, etc) and it's likely still correcting from the huge run-up it had at the end of last year. If BTC goes down, we go down too.
3. TradeSatoshi is shit and the USD valuation you see is based on them. Enough said.
4. You or the person browsing the web next to you (virtually... think network packets) is selling at super low prices. Stop it. Using GRLC is good. Sell it for goods and services. Cashing out at all time lows is stupid. Very stupid. Stop it.
5. FUD. FUD kills hype. Stop spreading FUD. What is FUD?
6. Bamboozles. Bamboozles = banboozels. Enough said. (contributed by u/Follow_youre_heart)

We'll recover. Things will be fine. u/DigitalizedOrange will get us on more exchanges and keep improving. Just keep being a good community and we'll ride this overall low in cryptocurrency out.
<3 you all
- the-philociraptor
edit: Added some clarification on terms that some might not be familiar with. Also added #6.

Hi all. I wrote this article exploring how valuable BTC actually is. Let me know your thoughts?
The population of the world is currently ~7.7 Billion people. Divide this total by the number of available Bitcoin and our calculation shows each person could only hold approximately 0.003 BTC each.
That figure gives you a great overview of how scarce Bitcoin is. However, it does not take into account a number of other external factors. Most significant is the fact that up to 30% of Bitcoin may be lost due to user error, or locked away forever as is the case with Satoshi Nakamoto’s known wallet.
(to read original article with graphs: https://learn.easycrypto.com.au/bitcoin-scarcity-why-we-may-be-undervaluing-the-digital-asset/ )
Given these facts, we can further drill down and analyse scarcity at a more practical level. Let’s look at the three largest cities in the world: Japan (Greater Tokyo ~38 million people), India (Delhi ~24 million people), China (Shanghai ~28 million people). Given the large populations in these centres, mathematically not all citizens in these population centres could even hold 1 BTC each. If you currently own a whole Bitcoin; you are in the top 0.25% of hodler’s in the world. Let’s quickly look at some usage facts. A University of Cambridge study revealed the following:
​

• person to person transactions are on average $100 USD
• Business transactions are approximately $50,000 USD
• User accounts are continuing to grow rapidly
• ID Verified accounts are also growing rapidly
• Most users are ‘ordinary’ users

​
The above points are why most in the Cryptocurrency community are bullish around the prospect of institutional investment. Smart business people are seeing scarcity combined with the technological breakthrough of the blockchain and are actively moving from passive observers to investors. New methods of onboarding and use are being developed or maturing that will likely see an increase in investment in this area. Given the opportunity for growth in comparison to other assets, the positivity around institutional uptake is likely warranted.
Let’s look at Gold as an example of a tradeable scarce asset. Gold trades at $40 million dollars per ton; or $42,000 dollars per kilogram. The market cap of gold is over $7 trillion dollars, compared to the total Cryptocurrency cap of $184 billion dollars. The room for growth here is phenomenal. Moving forward; Bitcoin has real opportunity to store wealth in a manner similar to Gold, with even more liquidity, divisibility and safety than its physical counterpart.
In summary, Bitcoin was built with scarcity as one of its pillars. Not only does this allow certainty for investment purposes, it builds in protection against inflation automatically. Due to up to 30% of the digital asset being inaccessible, we may actually be undervaluing Bitcoin up to this level.

Part 1: Marketing Questions

1. Q: There are so many blockchains these days and they are quite competitive. What plans does QuarkChain have in place to encourage the community to support this project continuously? A: We will continue to post our development process, ecosystem building and many more on our social media including Twitter, Telegram, Medium, Steemit, and Reddit. Except for previous 100+ volunteers helping us test our testnet, since our testnet 1.0 has been released, there are more than 3000 community members have joined the testing. We also have developer communities which are under development.
2. Q: Can you introduce your partners? A: We have built strategic partnerships with 30+ global projects such as Tripio, Bodhi, and Laya.one. We also have plans to build deeper relationships with 10 projects including Covalent Chain, DxChain, Drep, Playtable, ValPromise, Ankr, MXC, LendChain, EON, and Celer. Besides, we also partner with Certik in Smart Contract audit. More partnership will be built.
3. Q: What’s next in the roadmap? A: We will introduce our next plans in three major parts.

1）Development The first thing we need to do is to make sure our testnet is stable and keep optimizing our systems. We have found that there are many places, not only in scalability part but also in virtual machine and storage part, that we can improve in the following several months. We are also preparing articles of our technical details for open source several months later. We want to encourage community members to participate in our project and make our project not only our own project but also the community’s project. Another big thing we are focusing on currently is our mainnet which will be launched in several months. The main feature of the mainnet is that we can increase capacity on-demand as the network grows, and it will work as a scalable smart contract that can do whatever ETH can do but with greater scalability.
2）Marketing Currently, we only separate our market into Chinese, English, Korean, Japanese, Russian parts. We will have more strategies to open for different markets including, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, India and Europe. We will do more local stuff and enlarge our local community. Moreover, with the launch of testnet, we will build developer communities. At the beginning of August, we are going to hold the biggest hackathon in the Bay Area with Google ABC. There are only three projects to be selected and we are very honored to be one of them. At that time, there will be many programmers from big companies such as Google, Facebook and Linkedin building dApps on top of us on this two-day hackathon. We also have our 50 million eco-fund to establish an open and collaborative ecosystem of QuarkChain and 30 partners after just one month on Binance.
3）Korean Marketing We recently had the signing ceremony with a very strong insurance company in Korea who has revenue of 20 million per year and decides to go blockchain and global. We also have several contracts ready including a leading AI company and leading financial institution in Korea. You will hear more news about Korean marketing very soon.

1. Q: Why the current circulating supply seems too low compared to the declared total 10 billion circulating supply? Please note that 40% QKC will be used for MINING and is already locked by Smart Contract. Private sale is locked to protect public sale investors. The first release of private sale is 10% and it will be released in about ONE MONTH after the QKC is listed on exchange. You could see the circulating supply schedule detail here: https://support.binance.com/hc/en-us/articles/360004471832-Binance-To-Open-Trading-For-QuarkChain-QKC-and-Risk-Warning Other token allocation includes 15% for the team, 15% for the foundation, and 5% for advisors. These are all locked up to 2 years with vesting plan using smart contract and will be unlocked gradually.

Part 2: Technical Questions

1. Q: What kind of language is QuarkChain using for development? A: Currently, QuarkChain is developed in Python. The main reason for choosing Python is its fast deployment so that QuarkChain team could focus more on technology. Actually, we already obtain pretty decent performance results these days, and we could easily achieve much higher performance by employing other high-performance languages such as C++ and Go. Note that early Ethereum development also used Python, but later Go implementation becomes popular after Ethereum got more attention.
2. Q: What does Collaborative Mining of QKC means? A: QuarkChain will utilize GPU-friendly mining algorithms, which is still under development. QuarkChain Network has several minor blockchains (shards) and one root blockchain. Each minor blockchain offers different incentives and difficulties. Miners could choose any minor blockchain at an optimal price of their hash power. This creates an open market economic model, where a blockchain is a seller with goods being the block reward, while a miner is a buyer with hash power being their currency. It is desirable that a marketing model is designed with features ensuring that though each party in the market pursues their interests, the collective behaviors of each party can benefit all. The goal of collaborative mining is to design incentive mechanisms and difficulty algorithms so that (1) Hash powers are incentivized to distribute evenly among shards. This ensures that all shards are mined evenly, and thus the system throughput (i.e., TPS) increases as the number of shards increases; (2) The root chain has a significantly large portion (over 50%) of hash power over the whole hash power of the network. This prevents double-spend attacks, and a malicious miner needs at least 50% * 50% = 25% power to perform an attack.
3. Q: What is QuarkChain’s relationship with DAG or other Tangle technology? A: “The tangle is what is known as a directed acyclic graph (DAG): a data structure that moves in one direction without looping back onto itself. ” (from https://www.nasdaq.com/article/what-is-the-tangle-and-is-it-blockchains-next-evolutionary-step-cm911074) The system of QuarkChain Network itself can be treated as a well-structured DAG. This allows QuarkChain to inherit a lot of benefits from both blockchain and general DAG technique. For example, the consensus of QuarkChain and its threat model can be easily derived/analyzed following those of Bitcoin/Ethereum blockchain, while QuarkChain achieves high throughput similar to general DAG. Given two blockchains/DAGs of QuarkChain, we could easily tell which one should be appended thanks to QuarkChain’s root chain.
4. Q: How does cross-shard communication work in QuarkChain? A: The QuarkChain Network fully supports cross-shard transactions as the first-class citizen, in a sense that: (1) Any user could issue any cross-shard transaction at any time; (2) Cross-shard transactions can be confirmed in minutes; (3) The throughput of cross-shard transactions could be scaled linearly as the number of shards increases. In short, the cross-shard transaction is almost the same as in-shard transaction except that the root chain needs to confirm the block header of the transaction before spending the output of the cross-shard transaction.
5. Q: It seems there would be different nodes with different roles, all interconnected. How do you plan to prevent them from exploiting the role-playing model? As I understand it, you will manage and audit the network of voluntary nodes, then how do you call it “public blockchain”? Also, sharding doesn’t guarantee the persistence of data, nor completeness of the collection of shards. How do you guarantee longtail operation will be smooth and stable? What if there aren’t enough volunteers to participate? A: (1) For the first two questions, nodes (machines) trust each other to form a cluster acting as a full node. Anyone can run their cluster to participate in the network. Thus, we don’t manage clusters directly; (2) For the third question, there will be data completeness for an individual shard. Sharding and persistence are not mutually exclusive and we don’t understand why you think sharding doesn’t guarantee the persistence of data. All major data stored in Amazon, Facebook and Google use sharding to achieve scalability, and we are pretty sure persistence is guaranteed; (3) For the last question, mining is about incentives. We can try to solve the cold start problem by encouraging mining with relative greater incentives at the beginning.
6. Q: Is that possible to say a dApp to seamlessly run on multiple shards if one shard cannot provide the necessary throughput? If that possible, as cross-shard transactions are slower, wouldn’t that create somewhat of a bottleneck as well? A: There is a topic of a scalable smart contract. We are working toward this feature, and a lot of interesting things are ongoing. Also, it depends on how the dApp is configured as well. Take CPU as an example, once Intel/AMD reached the clock speed limit, they realized multi-core should be the next design paradigm, which means performance software should also change the paradigm to fully leverage multi-core CPU architecture.
7. Q: Number of Nodes — Can you explain to me if the more nodes, the better? Is that possible for QuarkChain to reach high TPS with fewer nodes (to prevent slower network)? A: It depends on how these nodes are organized. If all nodes would like to reach the same chain consensus, then the more nodes in the network, the slower the network is. Generally speaking, the more nodes in the network, the more decentralized the network is. Thus, we could achieve the high TPS with fewer nodes, but this will sacrifice decentralization, which is what we want to encourage. This shows the trade-off.
8. Q: Number of shards — How does the number of shards are selected, how many nodes will be there in the number of shards? As per the white paper, each shard will have its difficulty and reward mechanism. How is it defined? So it means miners can switch over between the different shards depending on mining difficulty and can try to get maximum rewards? How is this mitigated? Is there any sort of EDA or there is a limitation for miners switching between shards? How is this more decentralized than usual PoW solution? A: The number of shards is determined by the network situation and could be done by our governance model. The miner could mine any shards, depending on block reward, difficulty, and network propagation of the major miners of the shard. More decentralized is mainly because a miner could mine a shard directly instead of joining a mining pool. The motivation for joining a mining pool is to collect reward timely as an exchange of transaction fee of pooling. By mining the shard directly (as the difficulty is lower), the miner could save transaction fee and encourage more decentralization.
9. Q: Clustering — It is a good idea where the “honest nodes” are clustered to run as a supernode and will involve the root chain to confirm the transactions between them. There will be the incentive for the nodes to form clustering. How does this “Honest nodes” are selected for clustering or is it something which the nodes can do themselves? If they can do themselves? What prevents the malicious miners to collude and form a cluster of their own? How is this mitigated? A: A cluster is a replacement of a super-full node, but still serving as a peer in the network. Therefore, as long as there are sufficient peers (clusters) in the network, any blocks from the malicious cluster (peer) will be rejected. At the moment, a smart contract can be only administered in one shard. A cross-shard transaction is to transfer QKC from one shard to another shard, and thus a user with a single private key will be able to execute a smart contract transaction in any shard. A cluster — as a replacement of a super-full node — maintains the full ledger of the network and thus knows all chains. In addition, double spending attack is mitigated by root chain’s hash power via root-chain first consensus algorithm. Please refer our white paper for more details.
10. Q: Does QuarkChain have any plans to move away from the EVM for dApps with many other VM’s coming out, such as NEO’s VM. Or do you intend to create your own VM? A: We may develop our own VM if needed, but this highly depends on the feedback of our dApps partners. Even though there are so many VMs, a lot of them lack systematic supports (such as editor, compiler, debugger). To our best knowledge, EVM is the most-adopted VM right now, and other candidates could be NEO VM, EOS VM, and ETH WASM. Currently, we don’t have the plan to swap VM but will add more supports for new VMs, i.e., adding new shards to support new VMs or even new consensus algorithms. This shows another advantage of our sharding technique on enabling this flexibility. In this situation, QKC will be the GAS, and other VMs may have different token models. We need to figure out the proper way to incorporate them. However, this should happen after the launch of mainnet.

Original Steemit post here. Follow me on Steemit for your chance to win weekly Steem!
I hate to make another post about this but today I see more panic everywhere, and more red in the markets...
However, I'm not phased by this inevitable pullback. I'm new to crypto and since I'm only 18, I'm new to investing full stop! Looking back at the graphs, this was inevitable and I should've listened to those saying so, which I just labelled as "FUD!!" back then. However, despite the state we're at now I've taken out more than my capital plus I'm still up around 1500%-2000% my initial investment 5 months ago so I'm not panicked, despite being 75% under my peak just around a month ago.

If you've invested a LARGE sum of money into crypto and depend on it for a living, I recommend a different course of action. I'm not a financial adviser but setting a stop loss or pulling out a percentage is probably the way to go.

Why I think it's too late to sell now

Too risky... (to sell low buy lower)

For those day traders out there (myself included), we like to make a more crypto during a dip. Sell low, buy lower!!
However, I feel the rebound is imminent and I'll probably fall for every bull/bear trap as I'm not experienced and don't have a crystal ball.
I used to day trade emotionally during dips and I'd lose a lot... my heaviest hit was a dip back in December, I lost 60% of my CRYPTO, meaning I'd have 250% more money now if I just held during that day instead of day trading all day and being stupid.
I feel like most of us are emotional and more or less a little scared, even if we don't care to admit it. During these conditions day trading it LETHAL.

Belief in the tech and coins

The coins I've invested in are all coins I believe in. My biggest holding COSS is taking a hit right now, but I believe with their implementation of FIAT in March and multiple trading challenges on now, I believe that they will soon become a consistently $1 million daily volume exchange, then $10 million then $100 million!! I believe in the Steem blockchain my 2nd biggest holding. I believe in ETH, my 3rd And I hold BTC just because everyone does ;) I also hold a small portion of many other alts, and I know that even if bitcoin falls, these coins still have real use cases or real world value.

US likely positive regulations soon (purely speculative) (source)

Many of the members who will be testifying at the SEC tomorrow are bullish on cyrptos, including the SEC Chief Jay Clayton himself. "There's no doubt in my mind that our regulatory framework is not holding back the promise of this technology," he says, "in fact it's the other way around".
Furthermore, a redditor points out there is no reason for the US to crush crypto, as they "know what's at stake". Plus they can make an "ungodly amount of money" from it.
Plus, this

Further Good news all round!!

• India not banning crypto
• COSS allowing USD deposit in March (oh... and Bittrex but without an ETA)
• (COSS TO THE MOON)
• Major bitcoin holders adding more to their wallets
• AUS banks allows crypto trading, sets an example for other countries + banks
• "cryptocurrency is apparently superbowl locker room talk"
• Twitter and Square CEO recently overtly supporting bitcoin
• IT CAN'T GET ANY LOWER RIGHT??

Larson&Holz, an international group of companies, presented its innovative project – crypto-broker LH-Crypto, – at the Annual Business Congress in Moscow.
It seems that the event planners of the Annual Business Congress with Mikhail Hazin have tried to boil the ocean. The number of topics for discussion and their profundity were astounding. It was hard to believe that three days would be enough to speculate on: world’s major currencies prospects, US economy future, enlarging business profits in the times of crisis, sensible investment tactics, the phenomenon of cryptocurrencies which is gaining more and more popularity nowadays, etc.
However, when Mikhail Hazin and Jan Art, the famous experts, come on the stage, any trickiest challenge seems not that unsolvable at all.
One of the leading economists (macroeconomists) of Russia in his characteristic vivid manner gave a not-so-bright forecast for the American and global economy and prophesied for the forthcoming reshaping of economic models; he also stated the urging need to seek and implement new ideas.
“The global economy cannot survive on the same principles which have been raising it up for the past forty years. Giving people money and hoping for the respective increase in demand is a no go anymore. The developed countries’ population is so deep in depth that some households in the USA cannot cater their credits, not speaking about closing them. The average spending capacity of the US population is on the 1958 level.” said Mr. Hazin. This brings us to a question: what would the management system be after the fundamental changes? According to the economist, there already is an answer: cryptocurrencies. They owe their existence and popularity to the fact that for the past decades the financial system has been coming apart at the seams and the information on the real state of events is more available to people.
Vladimir Kuzovlev, Larson&Holz expert, has supported the statement that cryptocurrencies are worth paying attention to. At the very beginning of his speech he claimed that cryptocurrencies in general and bitcoin in particular have long since become real investment instruments, just as fiat currencies, oil or gold. Regarding technical analysis, a popular tool among traders, graphs of several cryptocurrencies look so appealing that it makes investors come to this market again and again.
Oleg Dmitriev, an independent specialist from Larson&Holz group, focused attention on how fast cryptocurrencies are evolving, upgrading the convenience of use and its status.
“Until recently about a half of what we were talking about could become a reason for criminal investigation, yet today operations with cryptocurrencies are absolutely normal, their invasion to the real world and their synergy with fiat currencies is ever growing” stated Mr. Dmitriev.
Currently there are 800 cryptocurrencies, their number is growing (each week there are approximately 2,5 new placements). Due to this there comes a reasonable question: how long will cryptocurrencies survive? All the participants and experts have agreed upon one opinion that there is no place for all 800 cryptocurrencies or more; so there will be some sort of fast natural selection; several dozens (maybe a hundred) of the most powerful, resilient and popular cryptocurrencies will stay and will later represent the whole market.
Naturally, the next speech was given by Alexandr Smirnoff, the Head of the Trading Operations and Audit Department of the brokerage house L&H, a top-20 trading guild leader and a famous specialist in market exchange technologies and financial consulting. Mr Smirnoff presented the revolutionary project LH Crypto. It’s not just another exchange platform that Larson&Holz is creating, it starts a fully-featured crypto-broker; it means that from now on the company’s clients will be able to have their accounts not only in USD and EUR, but in cryptocurrencies as well, and make the same operations as with fiat currencies. This step will radically change the broker’s economy, it will open new markets and new regions, where local laws had hindered Forex market development before.
LH Crypto will allow the broker to make settlements with China, India, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, many Arab countries; what is more, there is no need to open real representative offices in any of these countries, therefore there is no need to acquire license for operational activity, which will reduce the operational expenses from 6% to 1%. The company launches an ICO to support this project in the autumn 2017; Larson&Holz will release LHCoin tokens with guaranteed (written in the smart contract) profitability of more than 20%. Moreover, LHCoin holders will benefit from programmes which provide additional profits. CASHBACK Program is a monthly payback to token holders as a fixed proportion from the operational activity of the company. Early Bird Bonus an effective instrument to support and reward first investors by means of price growth for the following investors.
“We presume that during the PRE ICO and the ICO itself we will manage to attract around 5-10 mln USD, but we won’t be surprised if the interest is higher, for we do offer an innovative product” said Alexandr Smirnoff. PRE ICO will start on the 30th of October, ICO – a month later.

The economy of Indonesia
Indonesia, a country contains fourth-largest population in the world, often portrayed as a market that have much economic potential among other emerging Asian countries. The strong population base had made this country as prominent consumer force and existing economic issue such as poverty or income inequality can be improved by the continued expansion of middle class.
In addition, the solid backup from central government to raise the role of the manufacturing industry within the economy in order to control Indonesia's traditional reliance on commodity exports. These measures of government had rebound economic growth, lower debt on hand and successfully attracting financial inflows into Indonesia.
Potential of E-commerce in Indonesia
Indonesians having the highest social media capacity as their mobile Facebook usage rating the highest in worldwide, which is 63 million users in year of 2015. By embracing mobile-first initiative path, Indonesia grand permission for retailers in order to mainly focus on creating truly mobile functionality, emerging as unique opportunities to dominate in the retail space.
Overview of choice of payment in Indonesia
Based on studies from Markets Insider, debit card still remains as the preference for Indonesian customers in making payment. However, the usage of it is mostly limited to ATM cash withdrawals, and POS transactions with frequency of use at 9 times. This is mainly because the usage of cash is still preferred by both consumers and merchants. On the other hand, with enforcement measures by the government to enhance the POS infrastructure and card acceptance, the percentage of POS transactions has increased.
With the rapid growth of young population and rise of online retailers Indonesian e-commerce market rose to IDR 144.2 tn ($10.7bn) in 2017, it topped as the third highest compared to its others peer such as Pakistan (33%), India (24%), Vietnam (22%), the Philippines (21%), Thailand (17%), Malaysia (15%), and China (11%). This suggests there is a significant growth potential in the Indonesian e-commerce market.
Development of cryptocurrency in Indonesia
With the involvement on e-commerce, Indonesia shows a rapid advancement of cryptocurrency-related technologies. At the beginning of 2015, Bitcoin Indonesia served only 80,000 active users on its marketplace based on the graph shown. Bitcoin Indonesia served as a platform for these tens of thousands of members to purchased and sold Bitcoin through simplistic deposit and withdrawal methods such as bank over-the-counter cash settlement and online transfer.
The amount of user base in Bitcoin Indonesia grew from 80,000 to more than 250,000 active members in 2017. In comparison, the growth of 2018 is mounting to nearly 6x of the average user base growth of 2017. This can be seen as a landmark for development of Bitcoin Indonesia. Despite the user base data, Bitcoin Indonesia also revealed a impressive rise for the amount in daily transaction, which currently stands at $1.48 mln. This is only representing part of trading volume in Indonesia, however it is already larger than other market in South East Asia such as Philippines and Thailand.

● The Gate 88 Being one of the landmark in Bali, The Gate 88 is the choice for you to come across as you drive down Jalan Raya Kerobokan. The lively environment is a vertical stabilizer tail of a Cathay Pacific McDonnell Douglas DC-10 looms over the street and traffic lights. During night time, this beautiful place turn as hip rooftop nightspot, featuring the abandoned weird grounded plane sightings you can only find around in this island, there are some local or overseas DJs will perform series of popup gigs, called High-Fi along with the mood.
● Pulo Cinta Pulo Cinta (or Pulau Cinta), also known as the Island of Spices, Celebes was once the epitome of Dutch trading route. Located off the coast of Tomini Gulf in Gorontalo Province, the northern part of Sulawesi Island. This island also portrayed as island of love. The name of Pulo Cinta is cae form a local legend akin to Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. This romantic love story happened on two lovebirds which their love are forbidden. During the Dutch colonial era, a prince from the Kingdom of Gorontalo fell in love with a daughter of a Dutch merchant. To follow the freedom of love, they decided to came to this small island just to be with one another without the worldly disturbance. As a tale of love story, Pulo Cinta representing as a secret escape, a place of love amidst the bloodshed and violent war.

A friend of mine invested big near the high point recently, I created a bunch of info to help him feel reassured, thought I'd share it with all ya'll - would like to know what you think
Chart 1:
This shows 2 years of bitcoin price on a log scale with a moving average, plus a Stoch RSI indicator.
http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/mtgoxUSD#rg730ztgSza1gSMAzm1g500zm2g25zi1gStochRSIzcvzl
This shows we're still in an upward trend, despite recent very bad news, and also that the market looks due for an upwards correction soon - as it's so rare for the Stoch RSI to stay low for so long. Compare with previous major crash.
Thing 2:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/stats/map?dates=2013-12-09%20to%202013-12-17
This shows by-country download statistics for the official bitcoin client - it can be used as a crude indicator of adoption I guess. It's pretty clear from this that many major world population zones are still asleep to the entire idea, India and South Korea look set for rapid adoption soon.
Chart 3:
http://coinsight.org/graphs/reddit_flairs_weighted_30d.png
This guy shows both the number of bulls and bears on the bitcoin subreddit.
Both are increasing, so more people are gathering more info about trading, together with a huge weight towards the side of a price increase. These guys know far more about market analysis then I do.
Chart 4:
https://blockchain.info/charts/n-transactions?timespan=all&showDataPoints=false&daysAverageString=1&show_header=true&scale=0&address=
This guy shows the number of bitcoin transactions happening since the beginning of time. It gives a good indication of how many people are actually using bitcoin as a currency, rather than as magical gold bars of speculation. The higher this goes the better it is.

Presentations summary

Whereas DEVCON2 was all about development, and leveraging the network effects of leveraging other projects in the ecosystem, the presentations today were VERY high level talks.
There was a massive stark difference between "the old guard" in the Fintech space, and the disruptors that are shaking things up.
Take a look at the BOC (Bank of China) and ChinaLedger presentations. They talk about how Distributed computing is dangerous. ChinaLedger go on to say that they need the power to be able to go in and halt transactions, modify smart contracts on the fly, liquidate accounts when they need. While also saying that they will make sure they will do everything to help privacy and use encryption… which only the Government can unlock ("Golden keys"?). It was the most centralised "Blockchain" I have ever heard of.
On the flip side I was inspired by the forward thinking of the Consensys presentation, and their long term vision for where to drive the Ethereum platform. They are helping to create open tools and platforms that will be leveragable by a multitude of projects (as demonstrated with Ujo and BHP project "Rai stones").

After the Consensys presentation, my 2nd favourite presentation was by Wanxiang labs "10 years to build a city", talking about how they plan on taking some land and creating from scratch a smart city powered by the blockchain and electric vehicles. While the other old guard are squabbling about how it is going to impact their "business as usual" profits, there were the new projects out there envisioning and disrupting.
The BHP presentation was also pretty cool, a great implemenation of using Blockchain to improve a business process.

Presentations

New Finance: Technical & Legal rules - BoC He is from bank of China. Entire presentation was him being scared and trying to justify why current Blockchain tech is an unregulated wasteland, and why there needs to be regulation from banks and government.
For Fintech they think Blockchain will not be successful without proper regulations Blockchain finance - it is distributed. Storing all of the transactions will take a lot of storage space. What to do once the transaction rates exceed what can be processed. Thinks that public distributed transactions will not be more than a toy like with Bitcoin. For real FinTech they need something different for a high frequency. Thinks that decentralisation should not be the core feature of Blockchains (due to transaction limit). Thinks it should be decentralised, not distributed.
Should be done with private consortiums. Needs legal rules and technical rules. They think that self rulemaking currencies (Bitcoin) can not be regulated. So need to stop them, to prevent bad things like money laundering. This is showing the loopholes brought about by Bitcoin. So when using digital currencies, they need certifications and tracking.
"We need more regulations and rules to facilitate the healthy development of this space. Only with support of regulations can new technology take off".
Me: I totally disagree… (if not already apparent)
Blockchain futures & realities - CSDC
China Securities Depository and clearinghouse
He was much more open minded and forward looking. Is a pep talk for "things are going to change", how are we going to use these new things. He said that he recorded it into English that should be able to be downloaded, would be worth watching if you are into this space.
Summary: Genie is out of the bottle, we need to embrace this and think how we are going to put the requirements of securities ("real name transactions") in a decentralised way. And the registration and tracking of assets to real names.
People have ideals because they are not happy with reality. Due to this dissatisfaction, people are passionate about trying to make that dream a reality. Need to play by the rules, or the market will be chaos. So now we have facilities law, regulations, etc. This forms the framework of China economic. This is very different from Blockchain. This is at odds to the distributed systems. Seems like we are dissatisfied with this, so trying to reconcile these differences.
All securities transactions need to follow "real name" transactions, but want to do this in a decentralised manner. Market cap is 54 trillion (of something in China). GDP is over 70 million
They are researching Blockchain, but not just in the lab. Need to find potential applications and use cases for it. If we want to implement Blockchain technologies, we need to see what the hurdles will be, so we can get closer to the ideal. As BoC speaker said, the number of transactions per seconds is HUGE. Daily may reach 10s of millions at its peak. How are we going to handle this with a theoretical framework. Need to start from the reality of China. And the reality is it is a giant country with a huge population, which depends on the capital market. If you just implement within a lab it is okay. But if it is going to be put into the industry, then we need to work with the government. We can't just get rid of the government, it is impossible (REVOLUTION!!). So need to focus on key senarios to tackle, as you can't just apply Blockchain everywhere simultaneously. Or all your efforts will fruitless. How to complement it initially, not replace it.
Ten years efforts to build a city (Wanxiang Labs)
Me: I reallly liked this presentation. I've been keeping notes for months around building this type of innovative city in Australia. I plan on rewatching this one again later.
Going to build a city in 10 years. An energy gathering city in HangZhou 10KM2. Their US company is starting to build new energy vehicle. 900m RMB? 90k people. Deploy the city into the cloud. Intelligent life, traffic & services. Everything will be connected. IoT, Internet, smart living, smart transport. Once this is successful, they plan on launching it across the world. Will publish their learnings. Launching incubators and accelerators. Their own cloud Blockchain as a Service. Many scenarios in this smart city that could utilise Blockchain. Distribution for Solar power. ID & Vehicle registration. Intelligent community services. Can promote a sharing economy throughout the community. Partnering with Microsoft, IBM, Consensys, Ethereum foundation, WeBank, AliCloud
Vitalik Buterin keynote
Talking of the progress China has made in Blockchain innovation in such a short period of time. He visited China 3 years ago and visited a number of Bitcoin companies and was impressed on the scale of what China had, much more than what was happening in USA. But all the focus was just on cryptocurrencies, not Blockchain technologies, Just mining. 2nd time, he saw some kind of experimentation happening with interesting things (like coloured coins?) 3rd time saw more interest in Blockchains. 4th? time, he did a hackathon with Wanxiang labs (event sponsor), and there were ~30 projects. The growth since then has been rapidly growing. The scale of projects we couldn't have imagined 3 years ago. Was just theoretical, now a lot of ideas are almost reality. e.g. Self-sovereign identity, instant settlement.
Hyperledger
https://www.hyperledger.org/ Goals. Build an opensource dev focused community of communities to build a hyperledger based solution. Create a family of "etnerprise grade" open source blockchain framework, platform & libraries.
Because it is an enterprise opensource project, they need to track contributions, patent details, etc. Is part of the Linux Foundation, which has 16 years of providing governance stucture support for major open source projects. 80 project partners. IBM, Intel, Accenture, JP Morgan, Airbus, ANZ bank, Cisco, etc. 20 of the 80 project partners, are based in China. Apache license v2.
A world or many chains. There will not be only one blockchain. There will be many public chians and millions of private chains. Each may use different consensus mechanisms.
Major projects are: Fabric: Developed by IBM. PBFT, moving to Raft and other pluggable consensus mechanisms. Written in Go. Sawtooth Lake: Proof of Elapsed Time. Runs on secure enclaves. Written in Python. Hyperledger explorer: GUI for navigating Fabric & swatooth lake. Fabric-py SDK. (Java proposed later).
Future: Smart contract engines. Portable identities. Will never see a "HyperCoin". It is about making Hyperledger a standard, and a governance group.
IBM keynote - IBM Blockchain & Hyperledger
Today if you want to do something in your business on Blockchain it is difficult. Hard to scale, issues with privacy. No Enterprise support. Need tools to write tests for smart contracts. Need good solution patterns. Difficult to scale up, especially around transaction rates.
Built Fabric to support "serious business" Permissioned blockchains can't scale. Every node shouldn't execute every transaction. The 2 peers that are interacting are the only ones that should execute. IBM has implemented this internally to resolve invoice disputes with their suppliers.
IBM
All the slides were in Chinese. Difficult to follow unfortuantely. The (original) Silk Road was important for trade. Blockchain may be just as important for trade in the future People are debating the need of distributed systems being an important thing of Blockchains, is it really necessiary? Blockchain should instead be focused on unblocking instead. IBM will provide an IBM certified docker container. IBM Blockchain. http://www-31.ibm.com/ibm/cn/blockchain/index.html Has a concept of a "shadow chain"?
Blockchain Platform @ Microsoft
At Devcon1 Microsoft announced Blockchain as a Service. Rolled out DevTest Labs to allow you to spin up public, private, permissioned, and consotrium blockchians quickly. Provisoin with 1 click. Mix & match from best available blockchain tech.
Bletchley: Open infrastructure, Enterprise capabilities. Microsoft is not building their own Blockchain.
Blockchain has some missing parts (identity, privacy, key management lifecycle, tools). Asked our partners what are the missing parts. A database in itself isn't an application.
(re)Announcing: Bletchley v1. 2 parts. Distributed infrastructure layer (Blockapps, R3, bitpay, parity, Eris). There isn't going to be 1 Blockchain to rule them all, so allow you to leverage any of them. Lots of customers were taking a long time trying to spin up private consortiums, and trying to secure them correctly. Used to take 3 weeks, now down to 8 questions and 5 minutes. Spins up a private Ethereum consortium. 4-100s of nodes.
Distributed middleware "fabric" layer. Tools that can work across many blockchain technologies. Cryptlets are a way of doing offchain processing. Receive market data based on an event (market price daily closing, CRM event). Need to have trusted execution of the logic, to attest that it was not tampered with. Secure IP protected algorithms. Scale an algorithm for max performance by running it off blockchain in a secure & attested way in the cloud. Oracles may be malicious, or they may be intercepted during transmission. Cryptlets run on a secure host with a secure communication channel in a trust envelope. Marketplace for publishing the cryptlets into a market for others to consume. Azure cloud is twice the size of Amazon & Google COMBINED.
Bletchley Cryptlet Fabric. Supports Ethereum, will support more Blockchains. It is middleware that will support many. Secure execution on demand. Standard way of publishing and accessing external resources.
BaaS roadmap. DevTest labs, will continue to onboard more. Bletchley v1. Kinakuta to help improve security. Bletchley SDK
Longer range implications of Ethereum & other decentralising technologies (Consensys) LOVED this presentation.
Simplest view: Next gen database. Blockchain based, maximal replication, Prevents rogue actors Force for universal disintermediation, will distrupt every industry. Previously it was mostly just Bitcoin. Future projects were "BitCoin 2.0", instead of "Blockchain 2.0". So Ethereum project built the most powerful and capable Blockchain platform, both public (permisionless) and private (permissioned) Deeply secure, non-repudiable shared source of truth. Dapp is a set of smart contracts. And a user interface to interact with it. Was important to get an initial version of Ethereum out into the hands of devs, to start thinking how to start building decentralised applications. Ethereum has a vision for scalability, which includes sharding and state channels. Privacy, state channels is one option. Zcash/zk-Snarks is another way.
Currently building out an ecosystem of decentralised applications. Building core components: Identity/persona (uPort, metamask). Wallet (uPort wallet). Registries (Regis, ENS). Token Factory. Do private enterprise Blockchains make sense? Yes, large entities can have a complex internal mix of business units, having a shared source of truth can help. If enterprises have their own private consortium Blockchains, will be a harder target to infiltrate and modify databases. Business processes emboided as state transition graphs.
If you plan on building your own tools or technology on top of Blockchain tech (public or private), build it on Ethereum so it can be reused in many different places by other entities running their private chains Developed "Balance" for real time compliance, accounting auditing and monitoring. Real time dashboard for companies & regulators. Organisations using certified software wil not be able to break or bend any financial accounting rules.
The Blockchain will last for years or decades giving a persistent database. Gives a chance to do persistent portable identity. uPort self-sovereign identity.
Blockapps Announcement
Is Ethereum for Enterprise. Partnered with Microsoft to announce Blockchain as a Service (BaaS). Over 1k projects have used it, over 300 customers. Being released in Azure China datacentre (mooncake), and other Chinese clouds : Alibaba cloud, tencent cloud, Wancloud. Initial China projects: Minsheng insurance, Wanxiang smart city, Qianhai smart city, Shanghai smart city. China is going to be the country leading the world in Blockchain projects.
The Rise of Blockchain Consortia: Uniting the Banking World
One of the largest banks in Spain. Banks are just a ledger (a very large ledger). Each bank has its own ledger. They don't trust each others. Which is why you need clearing houses and things like this. What if there was a shared ledger trusted by all banks. "It's not about the coin, its about the ledger.
`
New development of ChinaLedger: Forging a powerful tool for Chinese capital market in the FinTech era
Was literally the most centralised blockchain I have ever heard of. Please excuse me as I rant inline.
ChinaLedger is a consortium. 11 founders established it. Chinese financial institutions and Wanxiang labs. "we created our own Blockchain and tools". Will come up with their own custom software and implementation. Will create a whitepaper and create reference architecture. Partners will use the network to do transactions. Need facilities to be able to freeze or take over acounts, and get access to all data. A need to be able to halt or freeze a transaction or smart contract. A need to be able to halt or freeze a transaction or smart contract. and the facility to liquidate an account or smart conract or manually change the state of a smart contract We need to be able to stop the trading of certain stocks. Let regulators control things. Will be fully in control of the gas. Wants to support 100k/s and 1 ms latency.
Then ironically says tries to say they are going to put privacy into this. "Everything will be encrypted and private. Except that CCP & regulators who will have ability to read everything". I'm SURE that won't be abused…
http://imgur.com/Qt4qh3O You keep using that word... Blockchain, distributed ledger, privacy, encryption
Re-imagining Global Payments (For business)
Banks make a LOT of money from bank wires. So they have no incentive to come up with anything better. The person sending the money needs to give 26 pieces of information. Don't know when you'll get the money, what the rate will be. About $20 to send, $20 to receive, plus lose a few percentage through the conversion.
Their solution (for business payments). Register for an account, can use online. No fees. Transparent FX rate. Can track the payment. Uses Bitcoin in the middle. Before international calls used to call many $s per minute. Now with VoIP (Skype) you can do it for cents. Same thing will happen to international money transfers.
Enabling Global P2P Cash Transfers with Abra (For consumer)
https://www.goabra.com/ http://www.coindesk.com/abra-remittance-app-us-launch/
Nowadays you can send an IM to anyone else in the world instantly for free. Why can't you do the same thing with money? Can do it locally in some domestic markets, like paytm (india, WeChat pay (China), mpesa (Africa). But not for cross border transactions. iOS & Android. Real digital cash wallet. Send & receive globally. No FX risk. Add cash via bank or in person. As private as paper cash. Abra tellers earn $$ (as a percentage fee). The wallet is stored locally on the phone. So you "physically" control it. (need to back up your private key). Use an Abra teller (someone else using the app) to exchange buy/sell cash for digital cash. Anyone can be a teller. Tellers charge a fee. Teller & user rate each other. When 2 people send money each other via Abra, happens instantly, . No FX volatility.
Awaking the Sleeping Giant: The Natural Resource Industry and the Blockchain
Note: Hispresentation was in English, but I thought it was extremely considerate that he had his slides translated into Chinese as well. Every slide had simultaneous English & Chinese descriptions so that the attendees using the live translation headsets could follow along easier. If I ever present in another country again, I'll try and plan ahead like he did. Was very thoughtful.
Why is BHP interested in the Blockchain? They are the largest mining company in the world (natural resources mining, not Bitcoin mining. Hehe) They are a global distributed organisation. So a distributed Blockchain
Project Rai Stones. Sample tracking of geological samples. They are highly valuable resources. Some of the wells cost $100M, and you only get 1 chance to take the sample. They currently only track the samples manually through emails & spreadsheets. They are working with Consensys & Blockapps. Runs on Ethereum & IPFS, on top of Microsoft Azure. 1 node at BHP, 1 at their collaborator, 1 at their regulator. 3 roles in the business flow, BHP out in the field, the analysis team, and BHP corp. They create/register a smart contract on the network for each sample. When the person collects the sample, they go to the dashboard, click the checkboxes to say they acquired, that updates the smart contract. They ship it off, so they put in the details of which analysis office it is being sent to, updates state from collected to shipped. Analysis team can log in, see what samples are in transit to them to be analysed. They receive it, give it a unique Id based on their internal process. They get trusted tracking of samples, and real time updates.
What if they could automatically operate machines, they could help avoid bad combinations of machines operating at the same time. Like a crane operating on an oil rig, when a helicopter is coming in. Disable a piece of machinery if it is past its allowed usage before routine preventative maintenance. Disabled until it is tested, and certified as okay on the Blockchain. Stop unqualified people from using a tool or vehicle.
Ore gets mined and put onto shipping freighters. Need to track Provenance, custodians, entire supply chain.
Need to give regulatory data to the regulators in each country the operate in. All the mines in the industry need to submit this public data to gov, it all gets aggregated, and disseminated. But it costs HEAPS to do this. What if they built a consortium chain. They can all publish the public data, ready to be analysed instantly by peers. Could make the entire industry more effienct and transparent by making the consortium not just for the 1 country, but a public one. Give a global transparent view of the entire industry. Would help drop costs of compliance.
They started on Ethereum Mainnet & Testnet. Now they are seeing the emergence of many private chains. They will see the bridging between chains. Seen that Ethereum plans on sharding (many chains). Forsees that there will be a global mesh of these Public & Private chains all supporting each other.
Cotricity – “a prosumer to business”- virtual energy market on the Ethereum blockchain (Consensys)
https://co-tricity.com Energy meets Blockchain Joint venture between Consensys & an energy company in Germany. Energy sector is changing rapidly. Prosumer is someone with generative capacity (eg. Solar panels & battery storage). Normal smart meter collects usage about production & consumption. Tracked on Ethereum. Matches up Prosumers to local community things like Schools. The local environmental and economic benefits of keeping it in the local community.
Mechanism design, "reverse game theory". Goal is to effectiveise the energy market and reduce costs. Means creating incentives such that the optimal strategy for every participant results in the realisation of this goal. e.g. Help to smooth out the peak in the morning, give a small reward for not using energy in the morning

Bitcoin in August
August has witnessed the rapid devaluation of Bitcoin, accelerated by fundamental data and augmented by technical glitches. The possible forking on the minds of the Bitcoin community, the repeated blows following the Mt Gox disaster and the effects of the BitLicense have cast a bearish shadow over the market which resulted in a month that managed to breach significant lows.

“After the stunning price action of the last couple weeks we have seen BTCUSD grind up the traders seeing patterns that aren’t there, complete chopfest. Rather than whittling away hard earned profits remember NO position IS a position — just need to know when them time is. Just like me, many other traders in the Whaleclub believe that sometimes not trading is a right decision and people should appreciate that.” BTCVIX, Professional Bitcoin Trader

Post the flash crash last week, the market has tested 200 and has been on a correction curve ever since. With many countries calling for increased regulation, let’s see how market emotions fared last week.
Nigeria’s central bank has called for Bitcoin regulation in order to stop money laundering and avoid international penalties. Dr. Okwu Nnanna the governor of the financial system at Nigeria’s Central Bank has cited that cryptocurrencies have no borders and hence are an easy channel for money laundering and thus there is a need to monitor them. AB 1236, a proposed California law to regulate virtual currencies has faced lot of opposition from industry lawyers.
It has now been amended saying companies that take ‘full custody’ of the currency are to be licensed and the bill is being backed by other major companies who are mostly made up of software developers. Another important country to look out for whose ecommerce demographic can play a pivotal role in the development of bitcoin system would be India.
With major companies like Microsoft and IBM backing bitcoin based startups, the Governor of RBI has made it clear that cryptocurrencies are being observed for now and would be regulated in the future.
The collapse of Mt Gox has racked up many controversies and the latest one, the arrest of Mark Karpeles, is over the issue of a fresh warrant for allegations that he has pocketed over $2.6 million from the company funds of Mt Gox. While Japan’s cryptocurrency scenario is restructuring for the best after the impact of Mt Gox, the Japanese Government has decided to regulate cryptocurrencies so as to avoid the risk of money laundering and terrorist funding.
How these coordinated regulations among different countries would affect/aid the growth and development of bitcoin is to be seen. While the ‘one-off’ depreciation of the Chinese Yuan has beaten the stock markets down in the USA and China, BTC China’s Greg Wolfson has remarked that the corresponding dip in prices in bitcoin is not devastating and in the times of uncertainty just like Gold, people are turning towards bitcoin as their safe haven.
The immediate correction after the dip is being seen as people hedge their positions in bitcoin.
Meanwhile on the Korean front, things are looking bright with a new exchange traded fund (ETF) tracking the value of bitcoin planned for launch on Korea Exchange next year.
This news coupled with Korean Bitcoin Exchange ‘Korbit’ announcing the launch of Bitwire, which allows people to send money using Bitcoin to any Korean bank account in less than two hours, the bitcoin ecosystem in Korea is trending towards a positive position.
On the European continent, the sentiment is consolidating with the launch of Mycelium Gear with Cashila’s API being integrated, this enables merchants to accept bitcoins that are automatically converted to Euros.
The financial crisis in Greece is here to stay for some time and bitcoin services providers like Cubit are trying to do what they can to help. Cubit in coordination with BTC-Greece is helping Greek citizens move their money out of the country to business partners and suppliers.
The aim is to try and work around the various capital controls that have been enforced in Greece in the hope that some private businesses can get back up and running once more. They have plans to install 1000 ATMS in order to make the this work. Even in the Black Sea Basin there are more than 13,600 locations where you can access bitcoin related stores, ATM and service providers.
On a corporate front, things have been picking up pace with Intel expressing its intention to unify the Internet of Things with bitcoin transactions. World Wide Web creator Tim-Berners-Lee leads the W3C to establish online payment standards, including Bitcoin, another sign of positive acceptance.
UBS’s Alex Batlin’s statements about Blockchain, saying that the technology will be an opportunity or threat to companies like UBS basing on how quick they act on it, has once again clarified that the technology is here to stay and is slowly gaining traction.
Patrick Byrne, the founder of Overstock.com, has acquired a broker-dealer firm built deep into the DNA of Wall Street. When the technology at the center of the acquisition is switched on, Byrne said, it will mark the first time the decentralized ledger behind bitcoin is plugged directly into Wall Street. This way it will be possible to bridge the gap between bitcoin technology and the blockchain.
With Coinbase reaching a valuation of $1 billion, it is listed as one of the top 50 tech startups in the USA. Fortifying their market share, they have launched services to purchase bitcoins through debit cards and credit cards and most recently launched in Canada.
While the service providing companies are doing well, the exchanges have taken a back step last week. The Bitfinex trade engine was blamed for the flash crash and many people experienced problems with exiting their positions during the crash, Australian Exchange, iGot, halted their trading activity and this has led to angst among its traders and customers.
So in conclusion, it is fair to say this past week of has seen lots turmoil in bitcoin trading with loads of negative factors contributing to the market sentiment bearish.
Long Term Technical Analysis
On a weekly scale, the market has tested its long term support level at 200 and retraced quickly to 227. The bearish arc of this swing was a strong move ranging over a month, driven by fundamental factors. The Bollinger bands in the weekly chart still remain parallel showing that the market is in bounds and judging by the regression lines, is setting up for a bull trend after consolidation.
On a long term scale, RSI is approaching oversold region while MACD just took a bearish turn crossing the signal line. Since the market is yet to consolidate, taking a long term position right as of now wouldn’t be feasible. Short term trades around 224 region with stop loss around the lows of previous week’s candle, targeting 5 SMA would be feasible. Long term trades can be planned on basis of consolidation. As soon as both Bollinger and 5 SMA become trending in the upward direction after significant consolidation, entering into trades with a long term plan would be profitable. Proper entry points for such trades would be around 220 region with stops below 217. With Market trending, possible exit points could be 266, 300 and 317.
If the market breaks out on the downside, breaking the support zone at 200, possible targets can be 157 and further drop in prices would seem likely.
Midterm Technical Analysis
In the daily chart, the support encountered around 217 region was breached and market has now found long term support at 200. With the Bollinger bands and SMA’s pointing downwards, the setup is going to remain bearish for some time until a base of consolidation is formed. The descending triangle as shown in the daily chart between the downward trend line and support line at 200 might possibly see good number of volumes being traded in the coming days. In which direction the break out would be or the setup would change will depend on how the market approaches the vertex of the triangle.
If the Bollinger bands and short term SMA’s don’t straighten out or change direction, the break out might as well be in the downward direction, continuing the set trend. The MACD is about to cross the signal line and turn bullish, RSI has crossed 30 from the downside indicating impending bullishness in the market but when the bull run takes off is to be seen.
In the medium term, it appears that it is going to be bearish/sideways for some time. Shorting opportunities at the trend line and retracement trades with 5 SMA as support hold good potential.
Short term Technical Analysis
On a short term scale, the market has retraced over 220 levels and is expected to trade in this range for some time before either consolidating and going for a reversal or crashing down further more.
We can observe that 100 SMA is offering good support and market has not been able to go beyond 34 SMA. Picking longs over 100 SMA with 34 SMA as target would be a good short term trade. With the Bollinger bands and SMA’s still pointing downwards and higher time frame charts supporting, shorting around 34 SMA would be a good option.
The possible targets for such trades would be 100 SMA and if the market gets further trendy, a crash down back to 200 levels can also be expected, although these trades have to be done with tight stop loss. The MACD and RSI don’t give much indication as the market is sideways in the short term and retracing.
Sentiment Analysis
This week saw a lot of action with countries announcing regulation moves and unveiling of technologies which ease bitcoin and blockchain adoption. While the sentiment was bearish majorly, let’s take a look at what happened in the market:
The Bank of England has announced that Bitcoin is ‘harder money’ than Gold because of Deflation. During a presentation on digital currencies, Andy Haldane, Chief Economist and the Executive Director of Monetary Analysis and Statistics of the Bank of England stated the above statement explaining that sustained adoption would see ongoing deflation.
An article from ibtimes has given a thorough analysis of how adopting blockchain technology to the existing banking system would be difficult and how Deutsche bank’s economist sees blockchain as a threat because of the lack of the IT infrastructure to support the technology involved. On educational front, Stanford has joined NYU and Duke University in offering bitcoin course, Princeton has launched its own bitcoin course on Coursera, strengthening the sentiment that cryptocurrencies are here to stay and further studies and research in these fields embedded into the course work is a strong possibility.
On the technological front, with e-coin launching Bitcoin Debit card affiliate program, which aims at bridging the gap between traditional financial services and bitcoin, it’s now possible to load bitcoins into debit cards and make payments for the transactions. With Coinbase also enabling purchase of bitcoin through debit-card/credit-card, we are now in a transformative phase where the traditional financial services are being used to develop and adopt systems that would be framework for the future bitcoin usage.
How the technology will evolve to accommodate or change the traditional banking system is to be seen.
Developments in Blockchain
On August 20th, Nasdaq revealed its plans with the underlying technology of Bitcoin and Blockchain. In an interview with efinancialnews Fredrik Voss, Vice President and head of Blockchain strategy at Nasdaq answered questions about how the program is progressing and what other applications Nasdaq is thinking of.
Nasdaq is planning to launch the private market initiative later this year and is clearly looking at commercial uses for the Blockchain now. The application of distributed ledgers in financial markets for things like settlement and custody, to create efficiency in back-office processes is the primary aim.
Another application of Blockchain this week would be the launch of John McAfee SwiftMail which is a new free peer-to-peer, proof-of-work, encrypted mail system that uses the technology underlying Bitcoin to replace email. The system is said to have very high encryption as privacy is one of the key aspects of SwiftMail.
Technocorner
On the techspace, what has been hogging all the limelight is the new chip for Antminer S7 by Bitmain that is believed to be more powerful than its predecessor. Bitmain, the bitcoin mining ASIC provider, announced on August 20th it is launching its fourth-generation ASIC, the BM1385. This chip is claimed to generate a 45 percent increase in hashrate while needing 50 percent less electricity than its former chip, the BM1384.
Another interesting development would be Netcoins which can supposedly turn any device (iPad, Android devices) into a bitcoin ATM. It is ideally designed for retailers to enable transactions in bitcoin and attract tech savvy customers.
News that’s also been doing rounds is about the Mike Tyson ATM. While initially the prospect was heralded to be a scam, the ATM was launched in Las Vegas with Bitcoin Direct backing the launch.
While security threats in Windows 10 has put the wallet developers in a tight situation, the iOS space is now crowded with launch of new wallets everyday making it hard for the users to choose from the many apps. Most people believe that the advanced bitcoin demographic belongs to iOS users and this is the primary reason for the competition while some say that the lack of a secure wallet in Android and security issues with Windows has led to this development.

  • So as we move forward here, they're also looking at--this thing about mitigating damages--the constant monitoring continuous monitoring continuous monitoring
  • You want continuous monitoring and you want diagnostic mitigation
  • You want it you want to know this
  • So now what's going to be key is does DHS do this do they do continuous diagnose justic monitoring and mitigation would they know for instance one of their servers there's an illegal copy at the home of one of their of three of their people who also worked for the Congress making 160 thousand dollars a year be interesting to know that'd be interesting to know that anyway
  • So these are the key things to look for CDM Einstein--at DHS
  • So I thought that was interesting the
  • I'm guessing because an acting OIG took over for DHS and made this announcement in in USA Today in May, that the previous one left
  • I'm sure the previous one probably left after the hack
  • So it would be interesting to know who the previous guy was or gal was so that we can talk to them about about this
  • But to me this means all this testimony is worthless, because basically you came up to Capitol Hill--these three people--and you said we're doing this special thing from DHS which is CDM
  • And we're doing this Einstein thing
  • And then you're hacked three months later
  • And you lose twenty five two hundred fifty thousand DHS employees data
  • So whatever this is, does not very good, because four months later was hacked
  • And I believe that's going to be the Awans

• Day 43.6 You Knew Reality Winner Was Coming Into the Story - YouTube
  • It's Day 43. This is version 6
  • In this news just broke: ex NSA employee admits he kept top-secret information at home
  • Here again, I think this is one of those Awan covers, where you have someone who has kind of been in close to retirement, etc, that's done a lot of you've done a lot of favors for, and you call it a marker
  • That's what this looks like
  • It looks like a cover to cover the wants and to explain why this classified information is sitting over at the Awan's house
  • I don't know maybe it's not
  • But this article does a pretty good job of talking about the different people at NSA
  • And there's been just a rash of NSA leaks
  • I think this is to explain the the OPM leaks, and the OPM hacks
  • There's a lot of information out there that's being used
  • And this is the guys name here his name's PHO
  • He's 67 not far from where I am in Elliot city
  • And if you're gonna have a lot of Social Security numbers floating around, a lot of people using those Social Security's numbers from veterans who died to then get new home loans
  • This is what we've seen with the Awans, this is kind of one of those covers where well it must have come out with one of these leaks
  • So you can see here from 2010 to 2015, he took home paper and digital copies of government records--
  • I've met a lot of people that work at NSA and this just is something that you don't do
  • I know everyone at NSA knows that you don't do this
  • You would have had to been--doing Sandy Berger stuffing it in--that your your pant legs...
  • You don't walk out of the NSA with a briefcase that's not checked when you at the end of the day
  • {{ 911 Rubiks Cube }}
  • So that's--now it is interesting that he's in the tailored access operations TAO unit which is the unit that Edward Snowden was in
  • So that is an interesting kind of development there
  • This is article is 22 hours old as I was saying
  • So again, district of Maryland, and here's Dana Boente who just left the Eastern District of Virginia, retired to come up here and do this case, in the district of Maryland, which I found was interesting
  • If you're not familiar with the NSA hacks of course there was obviously the 2013 hack with Snowden, but then there's also this the Martin hack
  • Again, close by where we are Glen Burnie in 2015
  • So and then of course the most famous of all hacks in Augusta, Georgia here in 2000
  • With the Reality Winner 25 year old they had all this information
  • Now if you notice Augusta, Georgia I want to say is I'm gonna say 30 miles from the Savannah River Nuclear Site
  • And it's about maybe 45 minutes from Charleston, not very far from Savannah and Charleston is kind of in between
  • This Reality Winner I know we've made a lot of fun of her all along the way, but it's gonna be somebody here at this site at the Savannah River Site that she's covering for if not two
  • Now I thought she they tried to do a throw, saying that she was at a different facility in Georgia
  • But now that I see Augusta and knowing how close Augusta is to Savannah River Site, and how close it is to Charleston, Reality Winner is going to come back into our story as the key throw of The Whistleblower down at Savannah River Site

• Day 43.7 Wrapup of Comments, Sweat Tea and Kings Bay - YouTube
  • NO Autocaptions
  • A lot of ppl commented PHO was yet-another runny soup with no meat like Campbell (Campbell's soup)
  • And it was covering the fact that he worked in this TAO @NSA
  • That will let you get into secure blackberry folders, for example
  • For example, drone interdiction in Pakistan
  • "Oops I did it again, here are the codes for drone strikes in pakistan"
  • People commented about Reality Winner working at Fort Gordon NSA facility in GA
  • I did't mean to say Reality Winner worked over at the naval nuclear station, but I meant to say that she was close
  • And that the info that RW would be dealing in would be highly secure information for the Navy
  • Our enemies knowing where our nuclear subs are would not be good
  • Turkey wanted to extradite Graham Fuller
  • News keeps chasing you, we're about 3 months ahead on this series--feels like we're being chased
  • Fuller did the infiltration, not the coup plan--coup is more Grange-Petraeus CIA-NATO op
  • SAP secure access program, lets you get into the SAP folders on blackberries...this how Hillary can still have influence even though she's not in power, she just needs a few people in key positions
  • Tap PHO on the shoulders and just say, 'time to call in a flavor and give us the SAP codes'
  • Reminds me of operation duck soup, in Vietnam which was flying heroin into the DMZ for US GIs
  • Maybe that PHO was a wink to Operation Duck Soup way back when since he's retiring now
  • Peter Stzrok, seems like a wink on 'Strzok', gonna call him 'Strzok'
  • Peter Stzoks let go from Mueller team for 'anti-trump' texts
  • {{ 911: that MSM's cover story. Really it was about him paying someone to validate the Fusion PP Dossier, now discredited. This makes Mueller's team look stupid and incompetent, so he was let go }}
  • Asked Robyn Gritz if she knew who Stzoks was and she didn't know him
  • Devin Nunes is mad because the FBI is stonewalling
  • DHS-OIG sentenced to 37 months for deleting Files
  • Georgia Cryptologic Center--sweet tea--sounds like euphemism for drug trade
  • Kings Bay subbase, lots of used car yards where car parts are being picked--illegal trade in car parts
  • People ask about the earthquake and was it a PNE near VA coast?
  • North Anna Nuclear Generating Station

• Day 43.8 Summary - Sweet Tea and Pho Soup at NSA - YouTube
  • Day 43 and it's part 8
  • And this is a real late night edition
  • But I'm gonna call this mister PHO's runny soup leeks
  • Mr. PHOs runny soup leaks
  • I was thinking either I'll call this friend or foe pho or mr. foes runny soup leeks
  • But this just goes to show you the power of putting out working theory
  • And then people come back and they either say--sweet tea
  • Why are you mentioning sweet tea sweet tea sweet tea?
  • Why are you repeating sweet tea? what sweet tea got to do with anything?
  • Reality Winner was at sweet tea--so what?
  • And there's good challenges there and I just think--this author the guy who did this article linked those two things together he linked together Mister PHO's runny soup leaks with reality winner and sweet tea
  • The Georgia cryptography Center, the Georgia cryptography Center is the one that was built in 2012 to handle CENTCOM traffic
  • So let's say these are the three different cryptology centers
  • There's a whole bunch more there's one in Hawaii where Snowden worked at
  • There's one in Fort Meade near me here
  • And then there's one in this in in down in Georgia at this Fort Gordon, Georgia cryptology Center
  • Well what they did is they they took it and they broke off the traffic here
  • And the first signal intercept
  • They intercept these signals from CENTCOM
  • This is the UAE
  • This is Pakistan and also AFRICOM
  • This is--the all the area where our mining is--Boko Haram and a Niger and all that sort of thing
  • So all that stuff all these stories that emanate from signals intercepted over there are coming out of this Georgia thing
  • Now these guys--let's just call them Navy boys B O Y Z
  • And what I mean there is kind of like this retired Navy
  • This is the military-industrial complex whatever but these are what we think of as deep state or whatever
  • But I'm gonna call them the Navy BOYZ sort of like to John McCain and McCain's dad and McCain's grandfather that type of thing
  • The Navy BOYZ and the Navy BOYZ if you were smart and you were--I'm not saying the Navy knowingly knows that drugs are coming one way and guns are going the other
  • But they did look the other way
  • They're like the common carrier I don't really want to know what you're shipping
  • So the Imran Awan is who's doing the containers and and what goes into containers these guys are just saying how many containers here's the bill
  • But these Navy boys--you'd be smart to take all that kind of traffic that--Awan container traffic and make it go through this Georgia Center--this Georgia communication center
  • That's where you have your reality winner
  • You could then cut off all the communication and just say this is a nothing burger, that's a nothing burger, oh yeah another nothing burger, oh there's another nothing burger
  • Here's Imran communicating in Sialkot, nothing burger here's him in Faisalabad nothing burger oh here he is over in Akina Asana his hometown
  • He's recruiting a bunch of boys for a soccer team that's a nothing burger
  • Oh here he is over in Lahore at the naina set tech tech show that's a nothing burger here he is down at the Customs House in Karachi talking on his Blackberry again, that's a nothing burger
  • Oh here he is over at the Porter Kasim checking the video camera for all the radiation testing oh that's a nothing burger
  • Oh well how about all the UAE shipping traffic well ---you're the Urenco shipments going on the Maersk that's a nothing burger and
  • So you have this Center which basically takes all this traffic of our key players, and just hits it with a nothing burger stand
  • And if anybody does come to the White House, comes up and sees Devin Nunes, and says, "hey all this traffic is actually Imran Awan--this story that's going around Washington right now, that's actually him and his--about 20 or 30 of his secure BlackBerryies--you do know that right?"
  • And so what you do is you just put a Reality Winner in there and then you crush the the two whistleblowers, which is exactly what I think you would do
  • And you would investigate them with DHS
  • And you would use the the case management system at DHS to find out about them
  • And then you would crush these people
  • And if you if you hacked the case management system--if you're Imran Awan, and you hacked the case management system you could crush whistleblowers all day long and
  • So that's what really I think--working theory does
  • Now there's it's a lot of speculation but here I talk about the Navy BOYZ in that little theory that I just gave right there and I talked about--
  • How this Mr. PHO
  • Now I didn't know pho oh it's gonna be pronounced Fah I'm gonna keep pronouncing it focus it's more fun it's called pho noodle soup
  • I'm gonna that's gonna be my new imagery for lane leaks leaks
  • Especially leaks about duck soup type operations
  • This is the the using of opiates to target US soldiers
  • And that's duck soup was was heroin for US soldiers in the DMZ 1968
  • So I'm gonna keep that duck soup model going because Pho is Vietnamese and who knows how long who knows how long Pho has been giving duck soup, I mean noodle soup to the enemy, who knows how long?
  • We don't know that
  • Now of course they're gonna say is a doddering old man...but we don't know that
  • That could be just the way of getting these codes these access codes out of Fort Meade
  • Oops I did it
  • Again, we don't know how long that lasted
  • Now for me again, more working theory, but this just looks like Mattis
  • This looks like Mattis cleaning up the Fort Meade
  • And the next thing after he cleans up Fort Meade, I think the next thing he's gonna do is clean up the Georgia center
  • And Devon Nunes isn't dumb--he realizes that these people came from the center too
  • They went to the Eisenhower building
  • So that's what I think's happening I think Madison's cleaning up on the home home base he's gonna go up and clean out the Colorado cryptography Center I believe
  • He's gonna do Hawaii I think there's one in Texas and the Texas Cryptography Center
  • The Colorado cryptography Center
  • I don't know where those are located yet I know the white one I thought was at Diamond D and I a matter of fact I talked to somebody who worked there
  • So anyway I just think this is this is what I love about these
  • I've met somebody in The Associated Press just the other day
  • They said John Solomon doesn't work there anymore he works at theHill
  • And I thought I knew that but anyway I wanted to mention that correct that
  • But it's just how just one good article about national security here by a good reporter from the AP, I don't know who did it
  • Then sometimes the AP hits a story that somebody writes in one of the the journals--the national security journals and then they'll pick it up the AP picks it up
  • But whoever the editor is over there good job
  • Because it it really gives you an insight into what a clean up operation operation clean up the clean the Duck Soup and clean the pho noodle soup off the floor here at NSA in Fort Meade right by me here
  • And then maybe also the Georgia community, to make sure that the Reality Winners aren't stuffing stuff in their pantyhose
  • I doubt very seriously that she stuffed in their pantyhose
  • I doubt very seriously I think there's probably just a cover
  • It's a it's a nice image nice imagery, but I think there's actually two real whistleblowers
  • I must stay with that story that came the Eisenhower Building
  • I might have got the center wrong I thought it was Huntsville
  • I thought it was Redstone Arsenal but well I'm looking at it
  • Now it may have been sweet tea

• Day 44.1 Is Peter Strzok Really Andrew McCabe? - YouTube
  • Welcome to day 44 this is the first version and the name to try to pronounce and try to remember as this name right here at the FBI
  • This is Peter Strokes I'm gonna call him because I think--I had said before I think it may be an OP name
  • An OP name is you take a funny name like Peter Strokes, I mean you just Swizzle some of the words[sic] {{ letters }} around
  • So you take the Z and move it maybe to the middle
  • That's the only way you could get a name like Peter Stzrokes who knows
  • Is that Andy McCabe? It sounds like it I'm not saying it is Andy McCabe it sounds like somebody who's extremely close to Andy McCabe if not Andy McCabe
  • But if you just look at the metadata of Peter Strzok it's Annie McCabe Annie McCabe Andy McCabe
  • If you look back here he was in charge of the Hillary investigation
  • He's in charge of shutting down the Hillary investigation, numerous times
  • Who else did that? Andy McCabe
  • Andy McCabe shut down NYPD Intel unit
  • He shut down New York NYPD
  • He shut down Little Rock FBI
  • He shut down the EB-5 investigation in Los Angeles
  • He shut down the EB-5 investigation in Miami
  • He shut down the Clinton Foundation investigation in Washington DC
  • He also conferred with Loretta Lynch to have her do shutdowns as well
  • He also brought in Peter Kadzik at certain key points along the way to leak information over to Podesta
  • So and I believe he also is the same person who goes to Fusion GPS and pays for the peepee dossier
  • And now we have Comey, taking the peepee dossier try to add legitimacy to the peepee dossier, and slip behind the curtain at the White House
  • So to think that Andy McCabe would give that to a second, possibly...
  • ...But the metadata looks like [Peter Strzok] is Andy McCabe's OP Name
  • I'm just gonna say that that right now, just from a technical analysis point of view okay
  • So we'll see if it's Andy McCabe or not
  • Tne picture they trying to picture Mueller with another agent to make it look like it's Peter Strzoks, but that's I don't believe this is I don't believe it's that person
  • And anybody on these teams trying to make it look like this guy here
  • I just don't think that's the case
  • Now this guy if you go back to the heavy article has been named in different wiretaps and sting operations Peter Strzok has been
  • They started with the top of it the story which is he sent anti-Trump and pro-Hillary tweets
  • So he's the one who Peter Strzok is a guy who had personally interviewed Hillary
  • And decided no, not to have the lie detector on, not to do it under oath--these are things that the FBI never does
  • This is Kallstrom's argument
  • Is Andy McCabe gonna leave that to somebody else? I just don't think so
  • So here we go with use of the the polygraph and when interviewing applicants
  • He's just looking for people to kind of be in his little cabal
  • So we'll see as the reports come out
  • The let's see the other report here's the Daily Caller has a little bit of the story just the top two percent of the story
  • Mueller's Russia probe The Washington Post had about 20% of the story
  • So they're getting I think they're in the lead
  • The New York Times had a story as well, so I think they're picking this up
  • The Wall Street Journal was completely caught flat-footed on this--they had no idea: they just thought it was an anti-Trump text thing
  • So that they were completely out of the loop
  • But well let's just do a hot search here and just see where we are with Peter Stzrok
  • Now and the now famous Peter Stzroks of course Peter's gonna be a member of my gonna be in my lawsuit to the FBI
  • Again, I filed the FBI lawsuit before this news broke
  • For all those are gonna say I filed it after the news broke--that's not true
  • You can look at the date, and matter of fact all these people have already been served, so it's gonna be hard for me to go back in time and serve them right?
  • {{ 911: G, why do you care? You said yourself, don't focus on the drama, just the lawsuits }}
  • So let's just see what we've got Trump has weighed in yet?
  • No Trump has weighed in with a couple of tweets, not particularly about Peter Stzrok but you can see that the press is picking this up
  • Now the whole investigation the whole Trump investigation looks like it's through this through this Peter Strzok if / Andy McCabe and the whole machine looks like it's gonna collapse
  • Now there is one theory out there--this is just working theory--that Flynn was working with Mattis the whole time
  • And and use Lisa Page at FBI
  • Lisa Page at FBI is not actually an FBI lawyer
  • She's a stand-in she was seduced Andrew McCabe or Peter Strzok, whoever you want to say
  • And set up him in a sting of his own
  • It's kind of nice to set up a sting with us with somebody who sets up a lot of stings
  • {{ 911: so he burns the whole country down because he doesn't want to risk divorce? Wow, if true wow. }}
  • So we'll see if that's true or not but I think actually it is true when all these texts do come out between Lisa Page and Peter Strzok / somebody
  • We'll figure out more to the story
  • So I'd say just by metadata this Peter Strzok looks like Andy McCabe

• Day 44.2 Peter Strzok and Lisa Page - Conspirators With McCabe? - YouTube
  • It's Day 44 and this is the New York Times article about I'm gonna just keep calling him Peter Strzok but you'll know that I mean STR zs t RZ
  • Peter Strzok and Lisa Page the lawyer and the situation or this situation looks a lot differently now with Lisa Page maybe being complicit in the conspiracy, working directly for Andrew McCabe
  • And of course in my analysis metadata analysis this morning, Peter Strzok's career looks so identical and similar to Andrew McCabe just on based on metadata, I thought it was Andrew McCabe
  • It is so close, and I'll go through how some of that is is come about
  • But this is the the very good article here in HEAVY.com
  • It talks about the lawsuits against McCabe and lawsuits against Peter Strzok
  • It talks about--Lisa Page's involvement and some of the other things news I'm breaking this morning with Robyn grits
  • She's talking about how she filed with the office of a special counsel
  • The office of the Special Counsel is Robert Mueller
  • She filed before Robert Mueller took over that position, but the FBI has definitely stonewalled
  • So this is my reporting as a few minutes ago, "hmmm interesting I filed a complaint directly with the Office of Special Counsel. But I know they have been waiting for documents from the FBI. They could delay every document request FOIA, EEOs"--its equal opportunity stuff--"you name it even the Inspector General from DOJ complained about Grassley's office being stonewalled by the FBI."
  • And then she goes on to talk about down here another friend of hers who had retired through OPM, I'll drop it down here, through OPM, and they just never sent the paperwork over
  • So he he was like OK well--I'm gonna send over my paperwork
  • He just never got it and he's been fighting the FBI for 12 years
  • So it's these winners and losers
  • If you're in side of Andrew McCabe's Counterintelligence little clique--the little JTTF click--you're going to the--doing the counterterrorism a week before the Superbowl, a week before--the playoff, football playoffs, NFL games a week before World Cup etc and you're partying it up just like the Hillary did with her Secret Service people in Colombia
  • If you're in that group you're the winners
  • But if you're a a gumshoe FBI out there on the street doing real investigative work, and not fake crime, well then you're in the losers
  • We're going to delay all your paperwork
  • We're going to Stonewall you we're gonna make you sorry you ever work for the FBI
  • We're gonna pad the pad our pad our winners
  • And we're gonna strike in our losers
  • And just so even though even this guy even the Inspector General of the Department of Justice, officer of department of justice and this is going to be Matt Horowitz complained about it
  • So this is not something then--George is--personal vendetta against McCabe
  • Actually as I've said before
  • I'd want him to live on a nice big branch with very green grass, but I don't think that person needs to be running a coup and information coup against the [lawfully elected, non-criminal] President--which is obviously what's happened
  • He's put in his cronies to attack the sitting president
  • This guy here we want to find him
  • He's Eric Karate Croddy. Now he sued (I'm sorry in my phone's just going crazy)
  • He sued the FBI for using these wacky interview questions, that if they if completely subjective, they're these the same questions users of Fairfax County
  • If they like you then great--that means they can get you in
  • If they don't like you they can keep you out
  • So crowd e Croddy here filed a lawsuit--we're gonna be looking at that
  • Kathy Muller was the investigator
  • Awfully close to Mueller, I mean almost if it was your daughter you would want her to drop the e just so people wouldn't say nepotism--we don't know--we don't know but
  • That's why I put it there
  • Now everybody says well why did you put the address of Andrew McCabe, why did you pin that?
  • Well I actually I put an address for him for 1998
  • Now did I know that he bought it in 2016? Yeah I just thought that was a little weird 20 years later
  • I was I used a three year old address
  • Did I know he bought it, actually? Yeah I probably did but when I saw all kinds of power upgrades going in
  • (Sorry about my phone)
  • When I saw all kinds of power upgrades going in there when I saw these new AT&T pedestals
  • When I saw 200 different wiring teams going in, when I saw these--all the Google Fiber going in
  • When I saw the AT&T Wi-Fi, AT&T fiberline going in, when I saw the depressions and dips for these new vaults from the wiring vaults near there
  • I just said well if you were moving your money out of Malaysia, and out of Gülen's little hands
  • And you wanted a safe keep it what would you do well I'd move it offshore
  • I move through Bitcoin and I would mine the bit coin
  • Now mining Bitcoin takes a lot of power and I've been talking to power experts all day about how much power has been wired into Hillary's place
  • Now am I saying Andrew McCabe is laundering money absolutely not
  • There's no way I'm saying that
  • But I just want people to visualize you have this place out in in Maryland the with these 35 people that are spies within that group somewhere
  • You got five or six of your own GPS people
  • You paid for them we have the receipts now that FBI paid Fusion GPS excuse me for these people
  • Where do you move them after they get Flynn to sign off
  • And finally call Kislyac who's dead now
  • Now they say we don't need these guys anymore and they get rid of them
  • Where do you move that five or six guys that's embedded in that team?
  • Do you move it to Chappaqua?
  • Are they living up there in Chappaqua right now?
  • Who knows but they're not answering service
  • And that isn't helping one thing is for sure I'm going to add both of these people to my discovery both the Peter Peter Strzok is what I call them Peter Strzok and
  • So I learned how to pronounce his name Peter Strzok and this Lisa Page if this person is a personal lawyer for Andy McCabe
  • And this person is kind of a personal hitman for Andy McCabe
  • That's going to come forward
  • People in the FBI are sick of this
  • That is going to come forward
  • That information is going to come forward
  • So I'm going to leave it right there right now
  • That's where the investigation kind of is is at
  • It's obviously very fast-moving here--with the phone blowing up
  • But that's where--you kind of took a couple of minutes out of the newsroom here to kind of--do a here's where how the dots are connecting as of right now
  • You can go to the Twitter feed to see how things are going
  • But that's where we are right now

• Day 44.3. Focused On the Misuse of Power - YouTube
  • It's Day 44 this is part three
  • This is just a quick Sunday summary
  • And I think it's probably good the full flight of the arrow here really goes back to 2010
  • And if you haven't watched the series before--that I really don't care about viewers or subscribers or patreon or any of that
  • I want to get off Andrew McCabe's list
  • That's all I want--that's all up the reason I got in this
  • You could read the accidental journalist by Trish Negron on Google George Webb an accidental journalist if you want the full story
  • But I protested and got in the way of Andrew McCabe and an operation he did in Portland Oregon
  • It's called Muhammad Muhammad [Christmas Tree Bomber]
  • Basically used three different informants for this Muslim kid took a very nice kid who was studying hard a student 17 years old radicalized him over time showing him a lot of pictures of war atrocities that supposedly were done by a--US soldiers
  • And built a bomb for him
  • He never touched a soldering iron
  • And put him away for thirty years
  • And even that kid with no rights from Somalia
  • I think he did later naturalize, but he ended up almost winning a case in the 702 for "collect it all"
  • And I actually think he should have won it because they used illegally-collected information to convict him
  • Which is Fruit-of-the-Poisonous-Tree
  • So I do believe the little guy has rights in America and can challenge the law
  • The Dred Scott--he's sort of the Dred Scott
  • Muhammad Muhammad SAW the Dred Scott of our time and if he would have won that case he would have it would have helped everyone in the United States with their Fourth Amendment rights
  • So yes I do think a little guy can win a guy can win in the pro se Court and from the Supreme Court with 13 shares of stock
  • So my only intention here is to get off the list
  • And I hope all my viewers go to all other channels and make everybody else rich and wealthy and add to their subscribers and do whatever patreon that they're looking for
  • That's not my goal
  • My goal is to get off the list
  • So what I focused on in this is production of documents documents documents documents
  • And most of the documents--I know some people say I'm trying to get documents I can never get that are secret
  • No, most of the documents I'm going for our public documents
  • Inspector General Reports are Public Reports
  • Reports from the House Committee on Administration should be Public Reports
  • Reports, Emails from people in the State Department, using Gmail should be public, the Public Records Act
  • So I'm not asking for anything classified I'm asking for public records and that's how I kind of the government's supposed to run
  • So that's where I am at that's my goal and I really have no other goals
  • And I have no animosity toward anyone
  • And if I make a mistake I'll certainly correct it
  • I have never accused anybody of a crime in this and if anybody is interpreting it that way, that's not the case
  • The only people I might be talking about in terms of committing a crime or the conspirators, which are is going to be the FBI
  • And there are some there are some actions by the Awans, obviously that are criminal
  • And there are some actions by people around them suppressing evidence and destroying evidence that are criminal
  • But everybody that I'm focused on are actually at the highest levels of government impinging on the fundamental rights of every citizen in the United States
  • I'm not interested in any Jones versus Smith type in situations
  • I'm focused on people who are impinging on the fundamental rights of every US citizen

• Day 44.4 Will Kristen Neilson Name the Three DHS-OIG Hackers? - YouTube
  • This is Day 44 part 4
  • And here is the DHS OIG hack
  • This is the DHS OIG hack where there's three employees that I say these three employees are gonna be Hina Alvi Imran Awan and Jamal Awan this all happens the first week of March this year and there's a temporary Inspector General I don't know yet if the temporary Inspector General was Theresa Grafenstine or not
  • But it's certainly gonna ask that in the request for admissions
  • So this is an article by Ron Nixon and Nick Fandos
  • I think immediately you can ask them, "hey, where's the W? You forgot the W. Here the Who W, you forgot to ask who these three people are. And then you also forgot the when. You said 'in the spring.' And they have the hack happened in the spring"
  • "Can you be more specific about the first three weeks of the first three days excuse me of March, before--he leaves the country on the 5th, and they get fired that first week those same three from Congress?"
  • Okay? So John Roth is the Inspector General now
  • So we'll see if he if he publishes that
  • But tomorrow this is the Kirsten Nielsen is hearings you can see here by the legislative action for this presidential nomination 1095
  • This gal named Kirsten Nielsen is up for debate tomorrow
  • And she went through our first round of hearings was not bad
  • And usually these are just consent votes
  • We'll see what happens
  • For those of you don't know who Kirsten is, she is young lady but that was kind of picked on a little bit for her experience, but she's got quite a bit of experience at TSA George Bush hired her, and she had a lot of critical infrastructure management role at TSA
  • So she has never led a large organization, but she looks like she's up for the task
  • So the first question is: Kristin Nielsen--just like we asked Jessie Liu, when she took over the Awan case--will you announce the first three people the three people that did this hack?
  • This hack was a 159,000 case files.
  • These were the case files of people who were who were researching cases like Zarate in the Kate Steinle case
  • You get out here you look at the facts of all the breach, you'll see that it was the actual case management of people who were looking at cases like Zarate and the Kate Steinle deal
  • Only there's one hundred fifty nine thousand
  • This is why I called this case here 159,000 Kate Steinles
  • This this case right here is 159,000 Kate Steinles
  • Because these are the investigators investigating those cases
  • You look over here at the USA Today report well if you look at Ray lockers report, you'll see that he has a he names how many people that
  • I think that's Ron Nixon right there from New York Times I believe
  • Yeah yeah it's Ron Nixon there and I I haven't looked up Nick Fandos yet
  • But here's the article here Nick Van DOS Ron Nixon New York Times insider stealing data nice report
  • So you can review this and just text them send them text...and say hey--will Kirsten Nielsen be confirmed tomorrow?
  • And well the first thing she does
  • Again, if these guys are double dipping it at DHS
  • And they're into the system of 159 thousand names--that's 159 thousands Zarates
  • That's 100 that's could be more than one hundred fifty nine thousand Kate Steinle
  • I don't know however many people that might might result
  • So even one Kate Steinle even one more Kate Steinle is is not good
  • But this is a hundred and fifty nine thousand case files that were hacked
  • And if you don't identify the hacking team
  • And they can go from all the different 30 departments in the DHS Coast Guard and TSA, you could could just do a round robin of all 30 agencies in DHS
  • This is critical: if you don't name those three people and you have no chance of plugging the leak

• Day 44.5 Lisa Page - EB5 "Family" Visas? - YouTube
  • This is Day 44 this is part five
  • This is Lisa Page and these are the two people that came out today
  • Lisa Page and Peter Strzok just to two people it just seemed to be everywhere as far as setting up the Comey meeting with Laura and Lynch in there--over at the Hillary investigation
  • They're over at the Hillary interview, and then they're at the Trump investigation, and then they're at the--behind the curtain here, and behind the curtain there
  • And it just seems like the type of person who's involved with fuschia GPSFusion GPS
  • With the--is it are they're really sending anti-Trump messages from the Mueller investigation?
  • There at the they're everywhere
  • They're at the the Hillary investigation together
  • They're at the Trump administration with the Russia Russia Russia
  • Then they're at the Mueller investigation in
  • Are they really are they really lawyers? No
  • I mean she's a lawyer but Peter Strzok is not
  • Aren't they really just sending out information of what the Commission's coming up with?
  • Aren't they just leaking information out to their friends and Andrew McCabe?
  • Isn't that actually what's going on it's not how Andrew McCabe is getting updates on all these investigations as they're going along--isn't it isn't that really the case?
  • Anyway I saw these things that are a record which was this disorderly conduct and whatever obstruct off--businesses is--I don't know what that is
  • But anyway I forgive people for their minor errors
  • But what I what I notice is locations.
  • She's from Columbus, Ohio
  • She got her law degree here in 2006
  • And I just look at Hillary, and then I look at kind of being brought into the to the FBI world
  • And here's Summit County here
  • And this is Akron, where my dad was born
  • And I had visited this Strongsville, Ohio, and the Strongsville Ohio had been kind of had been singled out because
  • (Not because of the creepy building here)
  • But because it had this European adoption agency
  • This creepy European adoption agency that got raided by the FBI
  • I don't know if she was there doing the investigation for this
  • Or if she was doing--it's like maybe a color-of-law, where I bring in all these kids, and after the 10,000th kid I bring in, then I say oh well it's color-of-law
  • I'm the adoption lawyer--I'm the EB-5 lawyer for bringing in all these kids
  • Oh All the kids are gone there with all the families now
  • But ten years later I'm gonna--calling the chit's here
  • I was there I started in 2008 and now it's 2017, so I'm gonna call the chit's in
  • But anyway they adopted this thing called the European adoption consultants
  • And I think a tremendous amount of kids went through this place
  • Just an amazing amount of kids from overseas
  • I think they were flying him in the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Springfield Ohio and kind of I don't I can't exactly all the different ways they got in
  • But they were from all over the place
  • They were it was operated by the state department
  • So it was really weird there's that Hillary connection
  • And these people were kids were come from Bulgaria and China and Colombia Congo Haiti or Honduras India Panama Poland Tanzania Uganda Ukraine
  • And I remember how many Russian kids had come through with--look like they had had like polish passports or Bulgarian passports
  • So I don't know if people have read about this but this was a crackdown
  • And I think Hillary was involved in this
  • Now she's she might be able to say, well it was a ten year color-of-law
  • We imported kids ten years and just to make sure we knew who the bad actors were
  • Maybe that's the case here I stay away from pizza gate as much as I possibly can
  • But I mean it's right here in front of your face
  • I mean this is the FBI in and--invading there or shutting this down
